Mark, I think Just has answered your questions regarding fuel pressure and the need for a regulator, and NAM VET covered pictures. You'd be smart not to run the truck until you have the regulator installed. Here's a few more tidbits. The fuel system and the brake system are two separate systems and ...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the posts........good info! Jim, your option certainly has its merits, to be sure. Unfortunately, I don't have a T-245 core to supply back, but I hear what you're saying. I do know where one or two rebuild candidates can be found, just have to factor their purchase cost into it i...

Hi Guys, Has anyone had their 230 rebuilt recently? I'm wondering what ballpark machine shop prices are these days to refurb a long block. I realized parts needed will add to the cost, but assuming I walk in with a good block, crank, rods, flywheel, etc........what's the going rate these days? Where...

Hi 06,

I bought a NOS one from John at Midwest last year..........I believe he still has some. I think it was $15, but doesn't come with the cap..........just the socket and wire lead. The Amphenol socket won't have the wire lead attached.

Hi Manfrom, Interesting dilemma you got there. Anything is possible with these trucks, but unless someone changed the cab..........it's a B1. It has the reinforced cab cowl side in front of the driver's door and holes for the latch behind the door. If it were mine I'd remove the undercoating on the ...

Hi Travis, I'm sure there are multiple ways to look for hood numbers, and to a great extent it depends on the white paint he applied. Meaning is it oil based, an epoxy, etc....and how thick it is? If it's a real light coat of crappy paint some mineral spirits on a rag (damp, not soaking wet) might j...

Thanks NV. To be continued..........

Travis, that sounds interesting. No hurry on the video, but I think many would enjoy seeing your results! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Guys, My favorite topic..........but here's something completely different. First, let me tell you where I'm coming from on this. There's nothing MV related that gives me more of a "woody" more than vehicles wearing their original paint and markings. They just scream history. So when I ...

Ok Andy...........times up! We're all on the edge of our seats waiting to hear what you found. So how bad is bad?

Hi Elwood, Yeah, with all the junk I've collected I can see how you'd think that. I've seen them many times at the meets, but was always focused on the hard-core M37 parts, so I don't have much in the way of "accessories". In case anyone is interested the trouble light we're talking about ...

Hi Elwood,

I don't have one myself, but I'll keep an eye out in the coming months when I hit the east coast meets. If I see any..........I'll pick them up. Even if you get one before that seems folks are always looking for them.

Here's a pic of the original Cannon and new Amphenol dust caps. Close enough!
These Amphenol's are widely available, I got mine on Ebay for $20 for 5 shipped free, so $4 each.

Well..........I was close.........it's 3 3/8 inches in diameter.
